Thank you for stopping by the Weather Watch 12 blog! Roller coaster temperatures are in the forecast over the next 5-7 days. In today's blog find out how far we drop before temperatures rebound.

Let's start with a quick look at today's forecast. More clouds than sun and coolish temperatures around 40. A northwest breeze at 10-20 mph will put an additional chill in the air. Nothing like what is headed our way for tonight and Friday.

As colder temperatures settle into the area this evening and tonight, a few flurries or a snow shower can't be ruled out. No snow accumulation is expected in the metro area. By Friday morning, wind chills dip to the single digits and teens! A true wintry feel in the air.

Cool weather resides over southeast Wisconsin through Saturday with highs in the 30s. By Sunday winds begin to shift as a clipper system slides cross the upper Midwest. High temperatures on Sunday should be closer to 50°.

Right now it looks like around April 1 temperatures should be a little milder. The 500mb forecast map below for March 31 shows mild temperatures associated with a ridge of high pressure over the northern Plains. This should move east and provide our area with at least 1 or 2 mild days.

I still expect a system to move through the area around April 4-6 which should provide a chance of rain or snow. Likely only about 1 or 2 days in this timeframe would see precipitation. Temperatures still look to far shy of our average high of 50° for the Brewers home opener April 6.
